It measures board feet for saw logs, given specific diameter and length of log from 8 ft to 18 foot in length. This folding ruler is good up to 48″ diameter. To get an 8′ calculation use the 16′ scale and divide it by two. This was formulated around the year 1825. Doyle measures (Scribner’s considered too high) for smaller logs and Scribner measures (Doyle’s considered too high) for larger logs. Hud-Son and lumbermen believe that Doyle loss allows for saw kerf of the old circular saw blades. Hud-Son Portable sawmill owner’s average 15 to 25% more yield from this scale using narrow kerf band blades.

“About 3 years ago I purchased the Hud-Son Hunter, from an individual that had bought it and never assembled it. I have had it on a home made trailer since I assembled it and it has worked very well for me. I decided there is really no need for my mill to be portable so I am in the process of pouring concrete in sono tubes and mounting it more permanent. Also I am re-doing the sub frame and extending it to 20ft. I am also replacing the tracks with 1 piece steel. On top of all of that it will be housed in a new building instead of sawing out in the open.
Some day I may upgrade to a fully hydraulic mill but for now this mill serves me very well. I primarily saw ash but have milled up just about every type of tree known in Missouri.”
Thank you Hud-Son for producing a quality mill.

Merry Christmas to everyone at hudson forestry. Just a few pics from the my operation. I really enjoy the patriot mill.going into 3rd year and still learning about band mill sawing. As the great Rush Limbaugh always said the learning never stops. Latest lumber adventures include cherry, walnut, locust, and a lot of pine and ash. Thanks again for building a affordable awesome mill.
